Family History for Children
Family history is an important part of who we are. The more we learn about our families and whanau, the more we learn about ourselves. It's never too early to learn about your family history, and it is also just as important to record your thoughts today, as in time they will become a record for future generations.
Family and local history is also now an important part of the New Zealand curriculum.
Over the next short while we will be posting pages from our Family History for Children Introductory Workbook which was made available to children who attended the ancestry month event on 10 August 2021.

Jigsaw Art Competition
Posted on 05 April 2024
If you're a puzzle fan, then there's nothing worse than a jigsaw with a missing piece. So we're putting our boxes of jigsaws with missing pieces to good use for Art Month.
Open to all ages, we invite you to create a piece of Jigsaw Art. It can be flat or freestanding. It can also use other materials as the base or within the structure. Pieces can be picked up from your library from the start date.
